Town of Berlin Announces Fall Leaf Collection

From the Town of Berlin:

The Berlin Public Works Department wishes to inform residents of the following curbside leaf collection dates. Leaves will be picked up on your trash day during the weeks of October 31st - November 4th, November 14 - 18, and November 28th – December 2nd.

Residents wishing to have leaves picked up at the curb, must put them in biodegradable brown paper bags and leave them at the curb on their regular trash day during the specified week. Trash barrels or other containers may also be used. The containers will be emptied and put back at the curb. Purchased leaf bags and alternate leaf containers must be clearly marked "leaves". PLASTIC BAGS ARE NOT PERMITTED. Keep all leaf bags and leaf containers well away from your automated trash container. Grass clippings, yard waste and twigs cannot be mixed with leaves.

DO NOT rake leaves into the gutter. This is a violation of the anti-litter ordinance, and subject to a fine.

Those who wish to dispose of leaves on their own, may bring them to the drop-off area at 19 Town Farm Lane (off Massirio drive), Monday through Friday, between the hours of 7:15 AM and 3:15 PM, on Saturdays through October 1,8, and 15th from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM and extended Saturday hours October 22nd through November 26th from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM (Please see the Town’s website for Saturday hours throughout the winter.) All bags and containers must be emptied and removed from the drop-off area inside the Recycle Center. The Transfer Station will be closed in observance of Veterans Day (Friday, November 11th), Thanksgiving Day (Thursday, November 24th), and Friday, November 25th.
